Don’t worry, it’s harmless. The cats like to play with them, but they don’t eat them, so I guess they don’t taste very well.

Halfway through
Over the weekend I cast on for that balaclava and slowly made my way through the neck piece. Slowly, because I was doubting the size with every stitch I made. I had to tweak the pattern a bit because my yarn is thinner than the yarn they worked with (I cast on stitches for a…
Right now
Right now I am… … not capable of writing a cohesive blogpost about one single subject. So I decided to go with a right now post today. … feeling a cool wind blowing. So happy with that. … hearing birds singing. They like the cooler weather too. Sadly, I can’t hear them too well. I’ve…
Casting on
As always other knitters posting about what they’re making their family for Christmas inspire me to pick up the needles and make some gifts too. I didn’t want to overwhelm myself though, so I thought I’d start by making a hat for my grandson. But then I remembered keeping hats on one year olds (and…
I’m okay
Not the most comfortable way to hang out, if you ask me… At night, when I can’t sleep (and that’s most nights), I make up blog posts in my mind, telling you – in careful chosen words – how I’ve been struggling mentally these past few months. But in the morning all those words have…
A little thrift haul
Nope, not a knitting update. I don’t want to be whining about that constantly, so let’s pretend I never promised. I do have a little thrift haul to show you. Let’s get this one out of the way first My husband is a smoker, and yes, I know, and he knows too. And that’s all…
All over the place
One of the things on my extensive list of things to do today was to write a blogpost. I did finish almost everything else on that list but now I’m so crazy tired that I can hardly think. But I still want to post something. Skipping more than one week usually leads to skipping months…
Happy
Things that make me happy right now: :: we booked flights for an impromptu visit to The Netherlands in September. Orignally we planned to wait until December, but we both felt we needed to go earlier. We’ll be staying for a week only , but we already planned a visit to each of the girls’…
Not good
Yes, that’s actually a lot of progress since last week (for my currently not-so-great knitting mojo, that is) and I was finally getting into the zone. I love when that happens. I was happily knitting along and thinking about how to finish this top, even playing around (in my mind) with some creative options. I…
A system (or not)
They seem to have a system for taking turns to eat the sugar we put out, but since we can’t tell them apart, it’s hard to figure out what system that is. If they have any. Maybe it’s just our human minds that are wired to try and find patterns in utter chaos. These birds…
